Mo1690 CHROMOENDOSCOPY POST-EMR REDUCES THE RATE OF INCOMPLETE POLYP RESECTION

The completeness of a polyp resection is an important determinant of quality and efficient colonoscopy, and may reduce the incidence of interval cancers. Incomplete resection rates (IRR) vary widely and range from 6.5% to 22.7% in the published literature. Residual disease is more likely with larger polyps, for sessile serrated adenomas, and with more proximal lesions. The 5 year interval cancer rate is reportedly as high as 8%. The odds ratio for developing interval cancer is 1.6 for a history of previous polyps.
